“We really fell in love with her when making the film. And our aim and mission was really to try and tell the truth about her,” he said of Winehouse. “To show the world what an amazing person she was, how intelligent, how witty, how beautiful she was, before it all kind of got out of control and went a bit crazy.”

Several of Amy Winehouse’s friends took part in the film project. Amy’s father Mitch Winehouse, however, spoke out against the film once it was completed. He believed it portrayed him as being uncaring.
